As a parents you have to create one essential routine that you follow every evening, that routine is what I call “The Pre-Game Ritual” or a simple bedtime routine that preps your child for sleep. The routine you set, however, must be very specific. You must follow what’s called A Muscle Memory Routine in order to create a sleepy time ritual with your child. Simply by following the same routine at the same time every night, allows your child to say these magical “I’m sleepy, mommy”.
You must first be warned about the #1 mistake some parents make when it comes to putting their child down for bed. It’s a mistake that can lead to your child waking up crying in the middle of the night, exhausted children taking over your bed and frustration-filled mornings. You must avoid allowing your child to get out of his or her bed during the night and we go into the details why inside the book.
